Not sure I like that at all. Actually, I don't.

I'm freaked. 2013 is right round the corner and this Phoenix Force stuff is foreshadowing things to come. I think Emma is popular enough though not to end up like another Madeylne Pryor though.
Hopefully not; i just really don't like how that scan you just posted was written. It doesn't fit with their relationship, i don't think.

I think it makes sense from a story wise perspective. Emma was freaked by what Namor said. She's basically gone all in. She at least had her money as a safety net if things went sour...now she's gone and made a bold move. It's up to Scott now. If things go wrong she'll have absolutely nothing.

What did Namor say? Or do you mean the "he won't marry you" thing, because I always got the impression that Cyclops would marry her, but he didn't ask because he honestly didn't think Emma would be interested (at least yet).

The whole Jean/Phoenix/Hope thing has had her freaked since Second Coming.
That's probably his reasoning...don't think she realises it. I think the problem is that the writers have always had him pick Jean over Emma since Brubaker took over. He picked Emma in Endsong but...Jean has become an issue.
It's a bold move on her part. Don't screw this up Marvel.

I don't think she realises it either. I hate this whole "he'd pick Jean" thing. The f*ck he would. Emma is better for him than Jean ever was, and he's been written as knowing it too.
It took someone like Morrison to have the balls to break up Scott and Jean, one of the longest comic romances in existence (though he's making a habit of it now). They don't get that this was progression, and if Scott does end up with Jean again, it will never be like it used to be, unless the writers decide to just forget the last ten or so years of Scott's life/growth.
I can understand Emma's dilemma, but I can't help thinking that a good writer would have had her confront him about it rather than just suffer in silence. They're supposed to have this whole "cold in public, warm alone" thing going on, which means they do talk to each other. I really wish a writer would actually realise that.

Yeah I thought they were passed that after Whedons run but it kept being brought back.
See thing is, they have actually discussed it before...in Astonishing X-Men when they're searching Kavita's facility for answers on the cure and here can't find a worded preview.

But she's with him anyway. She's made her move I have faith that Kieron Gillen will surprise me.

I like Gillen; he seems like a smart guy. I just hope editorial isn't pushing him to do anything stupid.

He, apparently, effortlessly ripped apart an Adamantium net and crushed a Worthy hammer? Insane.
Could it be that the only reason he accomplished those feats was because he was still technically one of the Worthy? Either way, I guess we now know who the most powerful of the Worthy was.
Hulk's effortlessly dented Adamantium before and, according to Future Imperfect, Maestro had mechanical dogs that could crush Adamantium (which were unable to do anything to Hulk).
I don't think Nul has displayed anything "Worthy", he's just Hulk with a yin for striking fear (and fear does not mean annihilating all in front of him but making them fear him and The Serpent).
I think it's meant to be conveyed as primary adamantium. The confidence with which the vampire states that Hulk is "trapped" suggests it.
wouldn't make sense to skimp on the adamantium, when facing Hulk.
also, the US Military's adamantium bullets bounced off WWH's eyeball, iirc, so there's even more precedents of Hulk being tougher than Adamantium.

So noone here is arguing against the fact that it was prime ada? I just ask because I remember a Morlun thread where he also ripped apart an adamantium net and people argued it not being prime because it wasn't explicitly stated.
Why would people argue against it? Nothing was stated or suggested that it was secondary. Was something stated in the Morlun book?

That is also a bit worrying especially after what Gillen said in his latest interview. He knew this was going to happen and he was basically pushed to wrapping up all plots and setting the stage for Regenesis since last December.
